My dear old Dad was the PO of a congregation®. He had been in the British Marines during WW2.
One jolly day we were in the coach park at Twickenham CONvention.
Dad was watching the brothers® and sisters® getting off the coaches.
He looked at me and said quite pained: 'They all look like loonies.'
I kid you not.
That's funny. Funny because it's true.
I hope that is a good memory for you.
-Aude.
Aude, Thanks...he was a good Dad despite raising !e in a filthy disgusting cult. It just struck me that his authentic self was speaking that day.
Quality, I actually laughed out loud at that.
In hindsight masses of people in suits and dresses has to look just a little bizarre.
Laika. Dad would have appreciated that
Punkofnice, your Dad sounded good fun.
Cherish moments like these.
Quelly xx
Thanks quelly.
He was an old soldier. Pity he didn't stay in the forces instead of being fooled by a filthy cult.
War shatters men. It looks loonie too, when you think of it.
All dressed in uniforms so you know who you're 'sposed to shoot at.
Gotta say, punky, he raised you with enough good sense to get out of another crazy place where they all wear uniforms .
It's complicated. Our PO in Fayetteville East congregation where I da'd/df'd was a World War II vet from the U.K., Bro. Jim Andrews. His first wife was a French woman, suicide. He remarried a pioneer sister. That was before he came to our congregation.
The "all one brotherhood" was an effective hook for a lot of people--myself included.
Thanks humbled.
Dad had a nervous breakdown about the time he joined the borg. Poor chap.
Bless your late dad's heart.
